9. Placement and Acceptance of Bets

All bets on an Account are considered to be placed and received in the State of NSW, Australia.

TopSport reserves the right at any time to refuse any bet or part of a bet without providing a reason or advance notification. The circumstances in which we may refuse a Client's bet include but are not limited to:

a Client is or may be less than 18 years of age;

a Client is or may be betting on behalf of a person who is less than 18 years of age;

a Client is or may be in breach of these Rules;

a Client is or may be in breach of any applicable law; or

a Client's proposed bet would present an unacceptable liability risk to our business. Whether there is an unacceptable liability risk to us for the purpose of this Rule is at TopSport's discretion.

When a Client is making a bet on their Account via the Internet, it is accepted once the Client submits the bet and a confirmation is received by the client. This will be accompanied by a ticket number.

When a Client is making a bet on their Account via the telephone, the Client is responsible for quoting the correct Account details (including User ID and password). When a bet is made by a Client via the telephone, it will be read-back by the TopSport representative. A bet is accepted when a Client either indicates agreement with a bet after it has been read-back to the Client or, if the Client does not disagree with the bet details, when read-back to the Client before the telephone call ends.

In the event a telephone conversation between a TopSport representative and a Client in which a bet is being placed is interrupted for any reason (including a mobile phone dropping out) prior to the conclusion of the conversation, any unconfirmed bet will be deemed not to have been entered into. In such circumstances, it is the responsibility of the Client to contact us promptly to confirm the bet the Client wishes to make.

TopSport shall make a voice recording of all telephone calls with Clients when Clients are placing a bet, making a complaint or making a query regarding their Account. The Client agrees to such recordings being made. Where a 'Dispute' (defined below) occurs which cannot be resolved between the Client and TopSport, the Client agrees that the recording(s) and/or any records of a Client's transactions via the Internet may be made available to the adjudicator of the Dispute to enable the Dispute to be determined in accordance with these Rules. All records of voice recordings will be securely retained by us in accordance with our privacy obligations for regulatory purposes.

Clients are unable to change or cancel a bet once the bet has been accepted by TopSport unless the Client informs Topsport as soon as practicable after the wager was placed (but before the event has commenced) that the wager was made in error and the initial wager shall only be voided and replaced with another wager at the sole discretion of TopSport management.

The minimum bet on the Internet on an Account is $2

The minimum bet for an Account via the telephone is a total of $10.

'In the run' or 'live' betting (hereafter, together 'live betting') in these Rules refers to a continuous form of betting whereby the person placing the bet is able to place bets after an event has begun (e.g. betting on the outcome of an AFL football match at half time). In compliance with the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cwlth), we do not accept live betting over the Internet but may accept live betting via the telephone.

In any sporting event where there is a flat line (ie 7.0), and the result falls on that flat number, all wagers are void and refunded. Affected multiple wagers (parlays) will be recalculated excluding that leg.

In any MultiBet or parlay, if a leg is voided for whatever reason, then the MultiBet is re-calculated minus that leg. ie. If a Tennis player were to pull out of a game which was included in a four-leg multi, the multi is revised to a three leg treble.

Any live betting offered by TopSport will be displayed on the Website and Clients can call our office to get a quote on any option available. All live betting markets are subject to their respective pre-match rules. While reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of live scores and the status of games displayed on our Website in connection with live betting, we accept no liability for the incorrect display of this information.

Unless otherwise agreed, the maximum amount that may be paid out on any telephone wager (either single, exotic or multiple wager) is $200,000.

Unless otherwise agreed, the maximum amount that may be paid out on any internet wager (either single, exotic or multiple wager) is $100,000.

11. Racing (Thoroughbred/Harness/Greyhounds)

Where there are eight (8) or more runners in a race, a place dividend shall be paid on first, second and third places.

Where there are seven (7), six (6) or five (5) runners in a race, a place dividend shall be paid on first and second places only. When a Client has bet on a Tote based product, Place wagers will pay down to however many placing's the major Australian TAB's determine as appropriate for that bet type. Major Australian TAB's shall be defined as the Victorian TAB (STAB), the NSW TAB, the Queensland TAB (Tattsbet).

Where there are less than five (5) runners in a race, all wagers shall be on a 'Win Only'. If late scratching of a runner or runners reduces the field below five (5) runners, all non-tote place bets will be refunded if there is no possibility for a collect.

If a runner is scratched, all bets placed after the declaration of the final field, will be refunded on that runner (providing the bet wasn't placed prior to the barrier draw on an 'All-In' basis.). All other runners will be subject to a deduction, applicable to the face value of winning bets where the bet was placed at a fixed price, for either: Win, Each Way, or Place Only. (Refer 'Schedule of Deductions' Table - Section 12)

Fixed Odds

Best of the Best Premium (BOB) ? This product is likely to be available on all Saturday and selected feature Thoroughbred meetings during major carnivals and will apply to Metro racing in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Refer to the TopSport website for daily offers of this Premium Product. Topsport reserves the right to change, cancel or suspend this product without notice. "Best of the Best Premium" cannot be utilised in conjunction with any other promotion running concurrently. TopSport management decision relative to the size of the wager accepted under "Best of the Best Premium" will be final. TopSoprt reserves the right to remove this product from selected accounts if there is reason to believe multiple bets are being placed on the same horse to increase the stake of certain runners.

Starting Price (SP) is the official final bookmaker's price when the race jumps.

Best Tote Plus SP - If the race is at an Australian venue that does not send official Bookmaker's prices via the APN, then TopSport will pay Best of 3 Totes as opposed to Best Tote plus SP.

Win and Place Tote + 5% - From time to time TopSport will indicate on its website a variance to the percentage offered on selected racing events. The same rule will apply based on a different percentage.

TopSport may cancel wagers where the Client or Associates have manipulated the pool, subject to adjudication by Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW).

TopSport may place a limit on the payout (final odds) where there is reasonable suspicion of pool manipulation having occurred. In the event of this situation, the middle tote dividend will be paid subject to adjudication by GRNSW.

If a tote pool goes down either on-line or via the telephone and the pools are distorted, then TopSport reserves the right to omit these dividends when paying out. ie. If the NSW Tote pool is down, the best of QLD and VIC will be paid for Best Tote Products. For middle tote products, the dividend will be deemed to be the average of the two declared dividends.

In the event that one of the Major Australian TAB's for promotional reasons or otherwise, returns elevated dividends due to them foregoing their normal take-out margin, TopSport reserves the right to declare its Best Tote dividends at the higher of the other two Australian Totes. Nevertheless, under this scenario TopSport will match the offending TAB's elevated dividend up to and including the first $500 portion of our Members Stake on their initial wager on the runner or runners in question. Only "Win Only and Each Way" single wagers will be eligible (MultiBet's are ineligible) and TopSport management decision on the matter will be absolute and final.

If a meeting is abandoned or postponed to another date, single bets are void and wagers will be refunded. Affected MultiBets will be recalculated excluding that leg.

Where a race meeting is transferred from one racecourse to another, all betting rules and limits will apply as if the meeting was not transferred.

Regardless of whether a ' Futures event (All in betting) ' has been abandoned, postponed or transferred from the original date, all bets placed pre the barrier draw stand until the completion of the event. All bets placed after the final field is announced will be subject to refund and members must resubmit new wagers on the event.

TopSport reserves the right to cancel any bet where TopSport considers the bet is unfairly advantaged in regards to starting times of events.

Dead Heat Rule - In the event of a Dead Heat or Draw, where such an option was not offered for betting purposes, the ticket will be paid out at face value divided by the number of Dead Heating winners of the event. If the bet was placed at the tote product, TopSport pays on the re-framed Tote dividends.

The TopSport products and wager types are intended for Bona Fide Clients, that is, those clients who act at all times in good faith, sincerely, without fraud and who place wagers with TopSport for the purpose of recreation and entertainment.

If no bet type is specified, the default bet type will be a Win Only Bet at the applicable Tote Based product.

At the discretion of TopSport management, Tote pools of under $500 may be disregarded in the calculation of Best Tote and Middle Tote dividends.

TopSport reserves the right to restrict the maximum dividend paid out for Win and Place bets to $101.

TopSport reserves the right to refuse the whole or part of any wager.

13. Jockey Challenge

Jockey Challenge bets are available on selected meetings on a 'Win Only' basis.

The winning jockey, is the rider who accrues the most points based on the 3-2-1 system where the Jockeys receives 3 points for a winning ride, 2 points for finishing second and 1 point for finishing third. In the event of a tie, dead-heat rules apply (This also applies to Exactas and Quinellas). This is regardless of the number of outright winners ridden by the listed jockeys.

The "Any Other Individual Jockey" option shall be defined as the points earned by any one individual jockey riding at that meeting outside of the jockeys already nominated in the list of betting options for that meeting.

If any Individual Jockey listed in the market does not take part in at least one (1) ride for the meeting, all wagers on any Jockeys challenge market for that meeting will be cancelled and monies refunded.

For wagers on any Jockey Challenge to stand, all races scheduled for that race meeting must be run and correct weight declared. All bets will be cancelled and monies refunded if the meeting is postponed, abandoned or any race is declared a 'no-race' by stewards.

14. Racing Exotics

All TopSport Racing exotics are paid on winning combinations at the dividends declared by the Victorian TAB (STAB) (Thoroughbreds, Harness and Greyhounds).

In the event of a jackpot, the TopSport dividend is calculated by taking the Victorian TAB (STAB) Jackpot and dividing it by the number of $1.00 winning units. Where the total of winning units held by TopSport is less than one, the flex % held is multiplied over the jackpot amount to determine the dividend.

In the unlikely event that the location where the wager is struck is not covered by the Victorian TAB, the dividend will be paid at the lower dividend displayed by the other two major Australian TAB's.

Notwithstanding maximum win limits detailed in section 9, TopSport reserves the right to limit total payout to any individual(s) on any bet type. If the total TopSport payout on any bet type exceeds the Victorian TAB tote pool, TopSport reserves the right to limit the total payout to clients to the amount of the Victorian TAB pool on that particular bet type.

In the event of a Dead Heat for any of the place getters, there will be as many dividends as there are correct order combinations as declared by the Victorian TAB (STAB).

TopSport operates on the following Exotics;

Quinella

A Quinella is when two runners are selected to place first and second in any order. If a selected runner is declared a 'non-runner' or scratched after the wager is confirmed, wagers will be refunded on every combination which includes the scratched runner and the combination stands and the wager re-calculated without the scratched runner.

Exacta

An Exacta is when two runners are selected to place first and second in the correct order. If a selected runner is declared a 'non-runner' or scratched after the wager is confirmed, wagers will be refunded on every combination which includes the scratched runner and the combination stands and the wager re-calculated without the scratched runner.

Trifecta

A Trifecta is when three runners are selected to place first, second and third in the correct order. If a selected runner is declared a 'non-runner' or scratched after the wager is confirmed, wagers will be refunded on every combination which includes the scratched runner and the combination stands and the wager re-calculated without the scratched runner.

First Four

A First Four is when four runners are selected to place first, second, third and fourth in the correct order. If a selected runner is declared a 'non-runner' or scratched after the wager is confirmed, wagers will be refunded on every combination which includes the scratched runner and the combination stands and the wager re-calculated without the scratched runner.

Quadrella

A Quadrella is when the winners are selected in four consectutive races listed on the Quaddie Race card. If a selected runner is declared a 'non-runner' or scratched after the wager is confirmed, wagers will be transferred to the substitute favourite as declared by the Victorian TAB (STAB).

FLEXI BETTING allows you to take a Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta, First Four or Quadrella at an outlay to suit your own budget. This way you can have multiple selections for a smaller outlay. Simply make your selections and nominate the total amount you wish to spend on your bet. Your bet will cost whatever you choose ? and if you win you will receive a percentage of the full $1 STAB dividend.
For example, let's say you wish to box five runners in a Trifecta. This bet would normally cost $60 for a $1 unit. If you decide you want to spend $15, that's all it will cost.
$15 represents 25% of a full $1 unit (total cost of $60), meaning if successful, you will receive 25% of the full $1 STAB Trifecta dividend. Thus, if the winning Trifecta dividend is $200 for $1, you will collect $50.
The minimum wager for Flexi Betting is $1.

15. Athletics

Betting on the winner of an event is offered on an "All-In" basis. No refunds will be given for non-starters or for competitors who retire or are disqualified mid-meet.

All bets will be paid on the official result as per the podium presentation. However, if a protest occurs and the official results change inside of 24 hours, then the event will be re-settled. No doping cases will be considered and as such, the result available 24 hours after the event will be deemed binding regardless of further protests or changes to the official result.

A participant that is disqualified due to an infringement (eg False Start) will be deemed to have taken part in the event.

For head-to-head match-ups, both competitors must start the event.

16. Australian Rules Football (AFL)

Payouts are based on the official declared result. Any extra time played is included for betting purposes. For matches without extra time, a draw is always included for margin betting and any bets placed on either team to win by a margin will be considered losing bets in the case of a draw. In these matches, any bet placed on either side at the head to head option is paid in accordance with the 'dead heat rule' ie Half Face Value of the Ticket.

When a match is abandoned or postponed, and played within 7 days of the original scheduled date, all bets stand. Once the 7 days have expired, all single bets are void and wagers refunded. Any MultiBet will be recalculated to exclude that leg.

For all statistical based markets (ie Top Goal Scorer, Most Disposals etc), statistics will be taken from the AFL website (www.afl.com.au) for payout purposes.

Any bet on a player is refunded if they are not in the final 22.

All bets stand regardless of venue change.

In the event of a finals match which includes extra time, all markets are paid after the extra time period, except for Margin betting (where the draw is an outcome) and HT/FT doubles.

Premiership markets will include any replays required. A premiership market will not be available once the two grand finalists are known. From this point on, only match betting on the Grand Final will be available.

For match betting on a Grand Final, the betting is specific to the next match played. In the case of a draw, bets will be settled and will not carry over to any replay, and a new market will be framed for any subsequent matches.

Any bets placed on the 'Most Losses' market, are paid on the team which losses the most games throughout the season. Points deducted because of breaches of rules or regulations are excluded for resulting purposes. In the event of more than one team having the same number of losses, the position will be determined by "For and Against" as published by the governing body.

All bets placed on the Top-Vic and Top Non-Vic markets are resulted based on the team finishing higher on the ladder after the Home and Away season. If teams finish on the same number of points - dead heats are decided by percentage.

17. Baseball

Games are official after 5 innings of play. If the home team is leading, the game is official after 4.5 innings of play. The Money Line is paid on the official result of the game as ratified by the official MLB governing body.

For Run Line betting, the game needs to go 9 innings or 8.5 innings if the home team is ahead for bets to stand.

For Run Totals betting, the game needs to go 9 innings or 8.5 innings if the home team is ahead for bets to stand, with the exception being that at any time the Run Total is exceeded, the wager is official.

Should either of the nominated pitchers withdraw before throwing a pitch, all single wagers are void and refunded whilst affected multiple wagers will be recalculated excluding that leg.

If a game is abandoned or postponed to another date, wagers stand provided the match is played within 24 hours. If the match does not resume in that timeframe, single wagers are void and refunded, whilst affected multiple wagers will be recalculated excluding that leg.

First Half wagers are based on the first 5 innings, and the full 5 innings must be played. The Dead-Heat Rule applies.

For First Innings wagers, both teams must complete their first innings for bets to stand.

In the event of double-headers in the Australian Baseball League (ABL) or any other applicable league, all Game #1 are 7 inning games and are priced and settled accordingly. In the event of the match being scheduled for the full 9 innings all normal rules apply.

18. Basketball

All bets are paid on the official final score which includes any overtime that is played unless otherwise specified.

All matches must run to the completion of the designated normal time period in order for bets to stand.

If a game is abandoned, postponed to another date, the game must resume within 24 hours otherwise single bets are void and wagers will be refunded. Affected multiple wagers (parlays) will be recalculated excluding that leg.

19. Boxing

Where a match is abandoned or postponed, the bout must be fought within 14 days of the original scheduled date for wagers to stand. Once the 14 days have expired, all single wagers are void and refunded. Affected multiple wagers will be recalculated excluding that leg.

All wagers on either fighter to win will be decided by the judges' decision, which includes points, technical knockout (TKO), knock out (KO) or disqualification.

If a price is offered for the Draw, in the event of a Draw all wagers on either boxer to win will all be losing bets and the Draw will be the winning option. If there is a "technical draw" determined by the referee due to an accidental cut or similar, then the bout is deemed a no contest and all wagers will be refunded.
